The boycott started in March 1933 in both Europe and the US. According to Berel Lang it was uncoordinated and soon ended. Other sources claim it continued until the entry of the US into the war.

According to a December 1936 article in Time Magazine the Association of German National Jews
was then fighting against the Jewish boycott of German goods.
